Kansas Statute 58-2570 lets a Wichita landlord end a month-to-month tenancy with 30 days written notice for any lawful reason, with no just-cause requirement and no relocation pay.
Under Kansas Residential Landlord and Tenant Act KSA 58-2570, a Wichita landlord may terminate a month-to-month tenancy by giving 30 days written notice before the next rent due date. No specific reason is required so long as the motivation is not unlawful retaliation, federal Fair Housing Act discrimination, or breach of a written contract. Wichita has not enacted any just-cause-eviction ordinance to limit those grounds, and Kansas tort law does not recognize wrongful eviction outside narrow retaliation cases. Landlords still must serve a proper written notice, not change locks, and use the Sedgwick County District Court forcible detainer process if the tenant stays.
Self-help eviction such as changing locks, removing belongings, or shutting off utilities exposes the landlord to actual damages plus one and a half months rent under KSA 58-2563 and possible Sedgwick County prosecution.
